WINSTED >> The process of replacing the entirety of Holabird Bridge will begin Sept. 19, according to Town Manager Robert Geiger — setting into motion the next stage of a multi-year process to reconstruct the piece of infrastructure.

A reclamation facility is being set up at the town public works facility to store the various materials that make up the existing bridge during the construction process at this time, Geiger said ahead of the commencement of the project.

Construction is expected to take approximately 571 days, according to Geiger, which would prompt a potential completion date in April 2018.

A detour allowing motorists to navigate the area during construction will be come into effect Sept. 18, according to Geiger, who discussed this aspect of the matter with the Board of Selectmen on Sept. 6.
